Li Li remains under attack by a group of restaurant madames led by the hotheaded Mei Lin, who sponsors a coup in the Grand Lisbon’s kitchen. Li Li goes to Tokyo Nights for help from Mr. Bao, a move that earns her Ling Zi’s jealousy.
With the help of Uncle Ye, Mr. Bao thwarts the attack on the Grand Lisbon so successfully that the restaurant sets Huanghe Road abuzz with talk of its famous new dishes. Mr. Bao is now at his triumphant peak. What could possibly go wrong?
As Mr. Bao’s relationship with Li Li deepens, his friend Tao Tao finds himself knee-deep in romantic calamity.
Over at the Foreign Trade Office, Miss Wang’s success has spawned envy and led a shifty colleague to smear her, twisting a well-intentioned gift from Mr. Bao into evidence of accused bribery.

Amid a flurry of corporate intrigue, Mr. Bao starts ramping up his plans to stop the unethical Qiang from becoming the big dog in town. Qiang has a personal score to settle: he was once in love with Ling Zi before she left Tokyo to work…
When Qiang attempts a hostile takeover of a Shanghainese company, Mr. Bao forms a pact with Li Li—money for information. Mr. Bao and Li Li’s employees profit off of Qiang’s bid, but collateral damage forces the police to descend on Qiang…
Ling Zi reopens Tokyo Nights as a Shanghainese omakase and wins immediate success. Over on Huanghe Road, the Grand Lisbon falls into chaos when Li Li is held for questioning by the police. Again, Mr. Bao helps save the day.
